CEOs, what if you could turn your customers into shareholders? This fintech is making it happen

Stock rewards have obvious appeal to shoppers: Why not own a piece of the company where you’re spending money? It’s possible that those programs may become more common in the near future, as the company powering stock rewards programs recently won patent approval and is hoping to see them expand.

Apex Fintech Solutions, a self-described “fintech for fintechs,” which powers much of the behind-the-scenes technology and workflows for several popular companies in the space,

Forget PowerPoint: This is the AI presentation app of the future

It’s tough to think of two words that seem more at odds with each other than “beautiful” and “presentation.” I mean, have you seen a PowerPoint slide deck lately?

That disconnect is something Mitch Grasso’s been grappling with for years. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to describe it as motivating his life mission at this point—to achieve the impossible-seeming feat of turning mundane digital presentations into something both bea

Apple declares the iPhone 6 Plus ‘obsolete’ and says iPad Mini 4 is ‘vintage’

Time marches quickly for just about anyone. But in the technology world, it can positively gallop.

Apple has declared the iPhone 6 Plus to be “obsolete” technology, meaning it will no longer repair or service the device—and service providers are no longer able to order parts for the products.

How I’m filling the Twitter-size hole in my life

Back in early 2015, I hit a personal Twitter verbosity record by tweeting an average of 25 times a day. Last month, on the service now known as X, I posted a mere 49 times in total.

Slack claims victory as Microsoft will split Teams from Office

Some big changes are happening in Amazon stores, while Amazon Web Services (AWS) has axed more employees.

Amazon is ditching its Just Walk Out program, which allowed customers in Amazon Fresh stores to do just that: exit with their items, without ever checking out.

The technology sounds ideal, but the systems, which were expensive to install, were also riddled with errors. Instead of a traditional checkout line, it relied on a host of cameras and workers watching them, as

My Apple Watch went haywire and called 911

Earlier this week, I was just about to sit down to dinner when I glanced at my wrist and noticed that my Apple Watch was going absolutely haywire. The screen was furiously flittering among apps as if controlled by some invisible person who was pressing buttons at lightning speed. Within seconds, my Series 9 had somehow changed my daily fitness goals, sent a random Slack message to all my coworkers (“Hello!”), and, to my horror, was now calling 911. Which I was helpless to stop.

Have a cool cleantech project? Jigar Shah has $400 billion to lend

Jigar Shah is in a race against time, his progress measured in part by a map on his office wall. Each point on the map represents a project financed by the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, where Shah is the director. The 60 active LPO-financed initiatives include a factory for EV batteries or sustainable aviation fuel, a grid upgrade, and a next-gen geothermal plant.
